Firefighters are on the scene of a massive fire in Virden, Manitoba that has reportedly destroyed two homes.

Witnesses told CJ Radio they heard an explosion shortly after 9 a.m. on Friday and saw several firetrucks headed toward Thompson Place.

RCMP say a homeowner was pulled unconscious from the fire before he was taken to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

A firefighter was also taken for treatment, but there was no immediate word on the extent of his injuries.

The second phase of a wastewater treatment plant in Virden, Manitoba is going ahead after an $8 million funding commitment.

The new plant will improve the level of wastewater effluent prior to being discharged into Gopher Creek. The province says it will protect and enhance the local community, as well as those located downstream. It will also allow Virden to meet provincial wastewater treatment standards and the federal wastewater systems effluent regulations.

“Our region clearly has strong potential for both economic growth and population growth,” said Virden Mayor Jeff McConnell. “This growth requires robust community infrastructure to service the residents and businesses.”

The town of Virden is under a boil water advisory after a major water main break in the community Tuesday night.

“The leak that caused the dramatic drop in water reserves and pressure has been located,” Mayor Jeff McConnell said on Facebook. “It will take time to have the reservoir and pressure build back up. It will also take time before the boil water notice will be removed.”

Residents are advised to boil water for at least one minute for drinking and ice making, preparing beverages (including baby formula), brushing their teeth and preparing food, including washing fruits and vegetables.

Virden’s four schools are closed today as a result until the break can be fixed.
